Personally, we feel that a local license bureau, regardless of where it is located or who sponsors it, is most desirable and needed.

It is deplorable that more mettfhafcts' didn't at tend the meeting and hear the while stt' But this is true of all such meetings. Too few merchants show interest enough to attend and participate' in matters so vital to our town and county. 1 " It is our desire that in some way a license bureau can be maintained in Marshall and that our people will cooperate to the fullest in its operation. Just what steps can be taken is not yet-kitojWB'but we feel that by losing a license bureau we will be taking a step backwards. TOO MUCH DRINKING Why is it true that there is so much drinking these days? You will probably reply; fWbkt do you mean, these days; hasn't there always -been drink ing?" Yes, there has always been drinking and prob ably always will be drinking. Tfcijt is what is so shanwrfol. ;rt hiX- It seems with our advance in education, the les sons learned from drunkenness, the tears and heart aches caused by drinking, that people would wise up end quit.

Feel sorry? No, DISGUSTED. A few nights ago while driving from Asheville we noticed a car just ahead swerve from one side of the highway to the other. At least four times the car swerved off the pavement onto the shoulder. We shuddered as we thought that passengers in an on coming ear might flail victims to this drunken tool. As Ion as we followed behind tie could be done to stop the drui traffic. As we followed the car we cerned but frightened . . . and Fortunately, the plow into another.

Whether or not the majority of merchants who voted against the ing a tri-sponsor of the license bureau here acted wisely is also a matter of individual thinking. We do not "fault" anyone for having his own convictions about the matter. After hearing the figures read which revealed that the license bureau operated "in the red" by some $462.00 to diate, is in itself discouraging. Naturally, the first year of any operation of this kind is alwavs xne naraest, and costliest, we regret that such a con venient service as a lodal license bureau should op crate in the red even during its mitia feel, however, that by next year 13101' if still here, will at least break evetr) slight profit.

I hare been very alow in letting you know how very fine was the coverage you gave our drive. The front-page story and the editorial were more than we had any right to hope. Thank you! Madison County is making all our new) these days. First, Da vid Thomas, and now Mr. Tom Fender, for we are turning in a story on Mr. Fenkfer today. Mrs. Bowman, Miss. McElroy, Mrs. Oorbett and Mrs. Ramsey are all working tfieir beads off, aa you know, and we've sent out letters of solicitation to tihe more than 100 names Mrs. Bowman and Mrs. McElroy compiled And Mrs. Phil lip Elam got up a list of 100 names from Mars HiU. We mailed those letters just last Thursday. We've gotten that deficit down to about $10,000, and most of our solicitors haven't finished their work. It may be hard to get over the top from here, but with so many good friends, who can doubt well make it? Sincerely, MRS. GEORGE iSHUFORD, Chairman Assistance Fund MARS HILL COED IDENTIFIED AS MRS.

GREGORY THANKS FIREMEN Thank you Marshall Firemen, neighbors and all others who came to help us extinguish a fire which from the beginning looked impos sible for earth men to control. The windiest 'day of the season coin cided with the day I routinely burn waste in a concrete trash burner at the edge of our yard. This trash burner is enclosed in concrete with a five-foot chimney, but because of the fierce winds that day I stood by with wet broom to make sure that If the winds whipped any burning paper back out that there was no danger. One great gust of wind carried a tiny piece of paper with spark out toe top of the chimney land ing, Ja dry leaves . ... it literally bounced. With broom and a coat I was wearing all effort was made to control it, but the wind pulled every spark from under me and 1 in a moment it was going in many directions. In the horrible, help less, and hopeless moment of pan ic, I called the Marshall Fire De partment, a right I question since we are outsiae ine ny jjimi'-o, and the response was an unpredict able one which gave us hope. This is not the type of fire our men train primarily to fight, but tl fniurht without regard to the danger and showing great skill and courage. We deeply appreci ate this help, and while we regret the loss of ten acres of white pine seedlinars and a dozen chestnut this heln prevented the spread of destruction to adjoining lu-reiwHAii. Trie chimney is now equipped with screen wire on top, Kt T will never NEVER strike a match for any reason on a windy day! RUTH D.

Clerk: "Certainly. Where is the bride-elect?" Young Man: 'What do you mean, bride-elect? There wasn't no election. The girl appointed herself." identified as Mrs. Orla English Roberta, resident of Marshall and the grandmother of a current Mars Hill coed, freshman Janis Elam of Mars Hill. Mrs.' Roberts' surprise at see ing her picture in the HILLTOP released a host of memories as past and present met She finger ed the same gold tocket she had worn in her college photograph. It still holds the pictures of the two man ie hse IMa. at flat time ' her older brother on one side and -her "beau" (who gave her the locket) on the other. She never married the "beau" though. It was hard to become serious about anyone at Mars Hill, where the rules stated that the same boy could be dated only once every five weeks. 9he even tually married S. B. Roberts, of Marshall, when she was 28. As a Mars Hill coed she ma jored in Latin and English, wrote for the college quarterly and liv ed under the supervision of house mother Mrs. R. L Moore. Mrs. Roberts and her husband had three children, one of whom was Janis' mother, Mrs. P. R. Elam. Mrs. Elam's two daughters, Janis, and and an older sister, Ju dy have carried on the tradition of the Man Hill coed which their grandmother started. Per haps someday a story will be written about the Mars Hill Coed of 1965. Mrs. Roberts was the guest speaker at an informal get-togeth er in Edna Moore Parlor on Feb ruary 21 at 4 p. m. Her subject Was her former housemother, the beloved Mrs. Moore, Jor whom the dormitory is named.

The next morning we received a letter from a lady in the county who likewise deplores liquor. She wrote that is was a well-known tact that liquor Is being sold in many places in our 'county. Yet, our citizens sit idly by and watch this sort of thing go on and on. If our law enforcement officers are aware of any bootleg selling places why isn't something be ing done? Are our citizens too "oatg' on liquor selling and liquor buying to insist on enforcement?
